Found a pregnancy test wrapper in workplace toilet and I am trying to figure out whose it is

[MrsCurtainTwitcher]

I am in a workplace where more than two thirds of the staff could be classified as women of childbearing age. I went to the toilet yesterday and saw the wrapper from an early response pregnancy test. It was in plain view right next to the sink. The test stick itself was not there. I was surprised that whoever used it didn't just put it in the bin. I am wondering if they were so shocked (or overjoyed) by the result that they just forgot all about the packaging. When I was pregnant myself, I always did the tests at home. I couldn't imagine doing one at work, though I am sure plenty of women do. I've not asked anyone at work about or mentioned it and don't plan to. Yet I haven't been able to stop myself looking out for subtle hints. I am keeping an eye out to see if anyone is looking a bit peaky, rushing off to the toilet to be sick, rubbing their belly or doing anything that could be construed as a sign of pregnancy. I am secretly hoping that whoever has used the test was hoping for a BFP and got one.

Jfc mind your own business. Poor person having this posted on MN.

Well your username is accurate. It is their business, not yours!

That's not appropriate behaviour in a workplace. You need to forget about it.

My word keep your beak out! I’m glad I don’t work with you. You obviously have too much time on your hands, get a life!

I've not asked anyone at work about or mentioned it and don't plan to

Why would this even cross your mind? Your reaction to seeing a wrapper in the bin is really strange.

I did loads of tests at work. Sometimes more than one day 😂

How many women of child bearing age are in the office?

it could be a unwanted pregnancy hence done in office toilet for more 'privacy'.

Haha I actually discovered I was pregnant in the work toilets many moons ago now!
I worked somewhere that did pg tests for clients so was nice and easy to “borrow” one when needed!
I remember walking back out into main office in a complete daze!

🙄 Why don’t you just send an email to everyone asking the culprit to own up? This is so completely ridiculous that you even think it’s your business to know. Ffs mind your own business. thank goodness that at least you couldn’t go back into the office waving the stick around, small blessing I guess

???? Don't understand why u would spend time trying to do this. I'd be curious whilst washing hands etc then it would be forgotten

I think that you are being slightly weird here.

Just put it out of your mind, it's not your business. Getting pregnant and not getting pregnant are both very personal matters.

Don't you have anything better to do? You're being intrusive & weird.

Would you do this with sanpro..and wonder who has their period.leave well alone none of your business.

I’ve done tests at work a couple of times, just because my period was late, didn’t think I was pregnant, so not wanting to make a fuss of it, it was easier to test there with no questions being asked at home. I probably put them in the bin after as well, so presumably others would have seen, never thought that it may have set others to think about it.

Awww I remember one of my colleagues testing at work (BFP) I felt quite honoured being one of the first people to know! Although I imagine most people quietly test and don't share their news.

I tested at work as I’d bought the test on the way to work intending to use it that night but couldn’t wait. Took it. Got a BFP. Couldn’t contain my excitement. Told my PA before I even told my partner!

I found out I was pregnant with my daughter in ,a works toilet, I had been on holiday, got back to work it suddenly dawned on me that my period was over a week late, popped out to the pharmacy, couldn't wait till I got home. Being a sentimental idiot I felt a bit sad when I left that job I would never vist my lucky cubicle again!!

OK playing along, maybe this conspiracy is actually true and they did it just to catch out the person with nothing more interesting in their own life?

Wow you need some interest in your own life. None of your business

My guess is it's a woman

Aw I think you’re being given a hard time OP. Assuming the pregnancy is wanted, what is more wonderful? I think I too would be subtly looking for signs.
I did a test for my 2nd in a Starbucks toilet, couldn’t wait to find out. Took DH a Latte & a baby home.

I don’t think it’s weird to wonder whose it is, it would be impossible not to. However to start a thread on it shows a bit more than this though, with the wording you’ve used, comes across weird, stalkerish and intrusive

I also think people are being needlessly harsh on OP. Whilst it is 'none if her business ', I think it's only natural to be curious when the wrapper was left right next to the sink and not in a bin.
I would hope that the tester got the result they were hoping to get and that the wrapper was left on show out of excitement, not because they were upset at the outcome.

Yep, you are that person at work

Why? That is none of your business.
